"I don't need to hear all the criticism from you or your friends. Henrique is not my child, you saw the test." Pausing I shake my head, "You know what I don't understand? You went and tell the whole world that I abandon my child, that I'm a gold-digger and that I'm cruel. You went an tell the whole god damn world and now everyone thinks I'm Alliyah." I stand up from the bed and walked in front of him. Why did you do that? Do you want to brag about saving an abandoned baby? Why are you even in my room? So, you can brag about how poor I am and what a gold-digger I am. Well, you..." before I finished my sentence Alexander pulled me toward him then his lips were instantly on mine.
His lips were so soft that I just opened my mouth and accepted his kiss willingly, closing my eyes in the process. Moving one of his hands from my waist he slowly trailed it up to my waist. He pulled his lips away suddenly, but his arms remained in its place. I opened my grey eyes and look into his brown ones.
Realization hit me causing me to push on his chest and pull away from him. "Why did you do that?" I turn my head from him; my voice said angry, but my face was flush. "I don't want your pity."
Not because I was crying meant I wanted someone to kiss the pain away. "I don't want anything from you. Just find my sister so I can back to my life." Even if I didn't want you to.
"Will you just stop and let me explain everything to you.?" He didn't wait for my answer to continue, "I didn't kiss you because I pity you. Yes, I told my friends about the baby and they told their wife but other than those friends, no one else."
I shake my head and look at him, "Not true, you told Mr. Wilson."
"Ms. Wilson is my housekeeper, of course, I told her." Normally if a boss doesn't have to tell the help anything. What's so different?
"How dare you even kiss me after even calling me Ms. Bisson?"
He raised his brows, "That's your name."
I hiss my teeth at him, "We were on a first name basis and then you switch up. I know I'm despicable, but I didn't know it was that bad." He shakes his head, so I continue, "Then she starts accusing me of being a god-digger. The only money I'd ever want from you is to buy Henrique something and it's not like I'm allowed to leave the property anyways."
He ran his hand over his face, "Okay, Okay. I get it. I'm sorry for everything and wish I could change the past but I can't."
I shrug, "Why did you kiss me? Is it to make up for how you treated me down there? Because I don't want your pity kiss."
"It wasn't a pity kiss, you were talking, and I needed you to shut up, so it seems like a good idea." He says shrugging.
I rolled my eyes, "So you go around kissing all the girls who talk a lot just to shut them up?" I asked rhetorically.
"Not all the girls, just you."
After rolling my eyes I ask, "Where's Henrique?"
He walked over to the open door, "He's sleeping, and you should be too. Tomorrow we're going shopping."
I frown up at him, "Why?
"The annual fundraiser here. I told you this already." I raised my brow trying to think about the conversation he was talking about.
I shake my heads, "No, you didn't tell me anything like that."
He shrugs, "Well every year I have an annual fundraiser here and that's tomorrow. So, the decorators and the caterers will come from in the morning. The place is gonna be hectic and you're gonna need a dress."
I took me a few seconds to register what he's saying. "You're inviting me?"
He nods, "Yes." He paused and scratched his head, "We'll be leaving here at 8 am. Be ready." I turn to walk out, "Goodnight." He shut the door behind up before I could answer.
I took a seat on the bed and look up at the ceiling. I slowly brought my hands up to my lips. Did he really kiss me to shut me up? Or was that just his excuse?
.......
I walked over to where Alexander was waiting for me. I made an effort to smile but it didn't reach my eyes. "I didn't find anything. I'm too fat for this place."
He arched his eyebrow, "Fat?"
I nod, "Yup. That's what Debbie over there says. They only sell sizes zero to three and I'm a six. So, we can leave this place."
"No problem." I place his hand on the stroller and start pushing it toward to store entrance. I walked as close to him as possible, but his long legs were fast compared to my short ones.
We exit the store and talk walking down the street to a different store. I couldn't help but stay a few feet behind Alexander and the stroller. It was a great view. He was wearing casual clothes, jeans and a plaid shirt. The way he walked showed off his strength and masculinity. He was hella sexy especially when he when pushing the stroller with a sleeping baby. A few women passed us and flashed him a sunshine smile, there is nothing sexier than a man having a baby and taking care of him, even if it means just pushing a stroller.
He opened the door of a store and waited for me to go in then followed me. He left me and went to the corner of the store to take a seat. From the beginning he told me he wasn't the shopping type, so he wasn't going to be on my tail.
